Lycaon Data
Methodology

The method behind our econometric analysis reports.

How our analysts produce a tailor-made report, from qualifying the need to the debrief. A methodology shared across all our work, scoped to each project.

Our approach

Three principles that structure every report.

01

Analysis scoped to your need

We don't produce standardized studies. Each report is scoped to your specific project: geographic area, asset type, period, priority indicators. The scope is defined with you in the quote, before production. This ensures the deliverable answers the strategic questions driving your decision.

02

Proprietary econometric models

Our reports rely on the econometric modeling we developed at Lycaon Data. They break down the real price drivers of a property: measured impact of surface area, quality, outdoor spaces, location and socio-economic context. No comparables-based study, no simple averages.

03

Human, tailor-made production

Where conventional studies rely on comparables and expert judgment, and automated platforms return indicators without interpretation, our reports combine both: the rigor of our proprietary models and production by a team of analysts who scope, produce and present your report.

The production process

From qualifying the need to the debrief, in 6 steps.

Each report follows a structured process, from the initial qualification of the need to the oral debrief with the client. Overall lead time: 5 to 15 business days depending on the scope set in the quote.

  1. 01

    Qualifying the need

    When we receive your request (form or email), we reframe your strategic question in econometric analysis terms. What are you trying to decide, validate, arbitrate? This first step locks in the analytical direction of the report.

  2. 02

    Scoping and quote

    Geographic area, type of program or asset, depth of analysis, priority indicators, deliverable format. Everything is scoped and priced in the quote within 48 hours. Production starts on signature.

  3. 03

    Data collection and preparation

    Extraction of the databases relevant to your scope: verified listings, recorded transactions, public socio-economic data. Statistical cleaning, deduplication, outlier handling.

  4. 04

    Modeling and analysis

    Application of our proprietary econometric models to the defined scope. Measurement of the real impact of each factor on value, identification of market dynamics, formulation of actionable recommendations.

  5. 05

    Validation and formalization

    Two-pass validation of the results. Any aberrant or counter-intuitive result is requalified. Formatting of the report: charts, tables, mapping, writing of actionable conclusions.

  6. 06

    Delivery and debrief

    Delivery of the report as a high-definition PDF, ready to integrate into your professional materials. Oral debrief by phone, video or in person to answer your questions and clarify the conclusions.

The data used

Verified databases, updated monthly.

Each report is based on verified data, deduplicated and cleaned of outliers.

Property listings

Verified and deduplicated databases, cleaned of outliers. Measurable characteristics of each property kept and indexed.

Recorded transactions

Public real estate transaction databases. Historical depth adapted to each area.

Socio-economic data

Public sources: income, density, demographics, schooling, amenities, mobility, economic dynamism. The context that weighs on value.

Geographic areas

Administrative and statistical divisions at several levels of granularity, from neighborhood to metropolitan area.

The models used

Proprietary models, selected based on your question.

Our reports rely on several proprietary econometric models, selected based on the strategic question scoped in the quote.

Model 01

Impact measured by characteristic

For each measurable attribute of a property, we measure its real impact on market price. Different from an averages-based comparison: we isolate the specific effect of each variable.

Model 02

Price acceptance curve

At what price level does the probability of sale become maximal? Our model returns the price sensitivity of demand for your area and typology, and identifies the price range where absorption is smoothest.

Model 03

Local market tensions

Measured gaps between available supply and solvent demand, by property typology. Identifies where the structural deficits and supply surpluses are in your market.

Model 04

Comparison between areas

Synchronized analyses of several areas at any geographic level (municipality, district, neighborhood). To compare several options or position a project against a benchmark.

Our quality commitments

Four commitments across all our work.

From brief to debrief, what guarantees the quality of every deliverable.

  • Traceability of figures

    Every indicator in the report is documented: source, period, scope. You know what each conclusion you present to the committee is based on.

  • Cross-validation

    Results are validated in two passes before formalization. Any aberrant or counter-intuitive result is requalified before appearing in the final report.

  • Debrief by the producing analyst

    The analyst who produced your report delivers the debrief. They know every figure, every assumption, every limitation. You talk to the person who knows, not to a salesperson.

  • Total confidentiality

    The elements provided by the client (project, internal data, strategic context) are handled in total confidentiality. No information leaves the scope of the engagement.
